Install Git via PowerShell

It's easy!

Run:

winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget

Then you'll see something like:

Even though it says The installer will request to run as administrator, expect a prompt., I was not required to enter an admin password, which is nice on an IT administered work laptop.
